Les Soldes = the greatest event for shoppers in France since the introduction of Galeries Lafayette
In short, it is the bi-annual sale that all stores in France participate in and it is magical! There are no other sales anywhere the rest of the year. It is just a month each January-February and then June-July. It is a can't miss, especially if you're shopping on the dollar! Tomorrow is the last day of the soldes d'hiver and I am in the process of mourning my loss. See ya in June Zara!
